Would English media lay off the Berlusconi affair already! Learn Spanish and Italian, why don't you. Those types of things are OK to say in these languages. Ask Mario's opinion. And it will probably be OK for another 100 years. The languages are different. Language shapes culture. There is no other word for black in those languages. Now is it OK to call someone Black just for the hell of it in England or America? Of course not. But, I repeat, it is OK in these countries. Now I wish the Anglo-Saxon world police would shut up and get off the moral high chair. You don't belong there. Yes, I can appreciate the good work this website has been doing over the years to expose racism, but sometimes you are as guilty as the yellow press in sensationalizing things.

Unless UEFA are going to force the club guilty of racial abuse to play behind closed doors then they arent taking it seriously. If you take the team away from the fans they will learn. If you take money from the rich, nothing is learned.

£43,200!!! How will Inter afford to keep up their weekly wage bill of around 1.5 million after taking such a hit?! That's a fine worth less than 3% what they pay their players in 1 week.

San Siro has a capacity of 80,000. So I think those fans would consider ¿39 for a ticket and ¿0.60 to racially abuse their former player well worth it. Uefa are toothless

Money in these circumstances is useless, take away points and fans will notice.
